Guardian: Reports on the death of Hubert "Hub" Schlafly the inventor of the teleprompter. Have to admit didn’t know that Mr Schlafly had invented the teleprompter, and this blog should have known, its part of the image of the Presidency these days, you have the Hail to the Chief, the flags, the Presidential symbol on the stand and the teleprompter that allows any President to look good, but even President Obama who has a rather good line in rhetoric found himself repeating the same line twice due to the faulty operation of the prompter. It is that trusted folks, the modern politician in many respects places his/her political future in the prompter, if you not good interacting with the prompter your not for high office, you have to be good on the TV, and part of that deal is following the prompter. Our thoughts are with the Schlafly Family at this time.
